Abstract:		 A watching brief was conducted at the location of the former Eskbank and Dalkeith Railway Station during machine stripping of the track bed down to the works formation depth. No features of archaeological significance were identified. A watching brief was conducted at the location of the former Hardengreen Junction Goods Station and Hardengreen Junction Signal Box. The watching brief was maintained during machine stripping of the track bed down to the works formation depth. No features of archaeological significance were identified. A watching brief was conducted at the location of the former Newtongrange Railway Station. Sections of the platform on both sides of the track survived largely complete to the original track level, though the station itself had been largely demolished. Some brickwork, probably relating to the station buildings, survived in situ up to 5 courses high. The building remains were covered over and preserved in situ. A watching brief was conducted at the location of the Whitehall Mains Marshall Yard during mine remediation works. Here groundworks consisted of de-turfing the proposed route of the rail track and creating a grouting platform. No archaeological features were identified. A watching brief was carried during the removal of the topsoil from around the location of a former ruined building that appeared on the 1st Ed OS map identified as the ruins of Cuddyhall. No remains of the building or any other features of archaeological significance were revealed.
